| - The wife and I had just bought some fish next door at Clean Catch and decided to pop in and see what Petit Philippe had to offer. I had heard of it, but was unsure of what they were all about.
Basically, it's a wine shop with some fancy, made in-house chocolates. They probably have about 20 different chocolate varieties at any given time. The manager (at least I assume he was the manager) talked to us about the concept as far as their wine selection, tastings and the story behind the chocolates. If I understood correctly, there is no corkage fee and you can drink your wine on the premises, but don't quote me on that. That seems like a cool thing to do, maybe before going to dinner in the area, or even after. From what I saw, they have a pretty good selection of mostly American and European wines.
On this visit, we both some chocolates, a bourbon flavored one, a blood orange one, a fleur de sel caramel and a dark chocolate. They provided a nice dessert for our meal later in the evening.
The chocolates are definitely gourmet and as a result on the pricey side, but definitely worth a treat once in a while. We will definitely return in the future.
